Even CNN participates in the upfronts, announcing their new programming for the coming season. And among those programs announced, according to Deadline, is a new documentary series about covert operations called Declassified. Here's how the trade describes the series:

Declassified is an eight-part series that looks at America’s covert operations around the world. This morning at Turner’s Upfront presentation to media buyers, CNN will announce that the series will be hosted by former U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers, also the former chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. Each episode will feature a newly declassified mission told firsthand by the agents involved, giving CNN viewers “unprecedented access to world of espionage.” Eli Holzman, Aaron Saidman, Stephen Lambert and Rogers serve as executive producers on the series from All3Media America.

Declassified will premiere in 2016.
